This 1973 Volkswagen Beetle Convertible Restomod has an upgraded
style that you'll instantly recognize the moment it comes into
view. But this investment in this one also includes a custom
interior, upgraded motor, and a better driving feel that makes sure
you'll love this for more than just its appearance.
This is a Super Beetle, and it takes the "Super" part seriously.
It's an exceptional build with a ton of custom details. The front
end is smoothed with the turn signal moved to an inset position
below the headlight. The rear fenders are widened to accommodate
the broader rear tires. The taillights and license plate are
frenched, the bumpers are replaced with nerf bars, and the rubber
running boards are now bright aluminum step plates. Best of all,
the bright orange paint really loves to let this custom sun bug
radiate in the sunshine. But more than just bold, you're going to
see plenty of quality in this build. The finish has a smooth feel
from a professional application. And the consignor claims all-new
chrome, stainless trim, rubber, and the convertible top (and they
all have the quality look of a newer investment.)
The black roof looks good against the bold orange, but it gets even
better when you take it down. After all, the custom color-matched
roll bar gives this one a great sporty style while also adding
strength. They pay tribute to the classic VW style with details
like the VDO speedometer, simple door panels, and a Wolfsburg crest
in the middle of the steering wheel. But really, you know there's
nothing stock about this interior. The front seats are modern
Procar units with plenty of bolstering. The rear seat has been
deleted to make room for a custom subwoofer setup that connects to
the AM/FM/CD stereo. The dash has an attractive cloth wrap that
helps integrate the custom driver-oriented layout. You get upgraded
gauges, including a large AutoMeter tach with shift light. And you
take proper control of it all with the sports steering wheel and
Gene Berg four-speed shifter.
The engine bay has plenty of polish to make it ready to put on
display. Of course, it's the substance behind the style that you'll
really love. It's a 1600cc motor that is said to be upgraded to
1776cc. It also has a Weber carburetor, Scat intake, and a custom
exhaust system. It's a strong runner, and that's what makes a hardy
Beetle great. Plus, you have newer front bushings, front disc
brakes, and enhanced grip from the wider rear tires.
This is a Super Beetle in the truest form. So if you love a full
custom that will be unique everywhere it arrives, don't miss this
VW.
